Christmas is coming and the RATS of Hamelin town are getting fat!
Join us in A RATTY CHRISTMAS winsomely inspired by the Brothers Grimm’s 700-year-old tale, Pied Piper of Hamelin.
The ever-charming and rambunctious rodents enjoy creating a ruckus in the sleepy town of Hamelin. Christmas log cakes are gobbled up, fir trees are nibbled on, baubles and decorations are stolen, the list goes on and on and on! The town residents are just about to throw in the towel when the Pied Piper saunters in. To teach the critters a lesson, the piper begins to play his magical flute. One by one, the rats instinctively follow its enchanting sounds of Yuletide tunes. Will Christmas in Hamelin be rat-free?
This November and December, come join us in our year-end Drama Workshops at ACT 3 Drama Academy and kick up a JOLLY good time with us! We offer a variety of programmes for children from 18 months to teens that will engage and empower your child through the magic of Drama! Our one off 60-minute performative workshops for parents and toddlers will use the power of stories and imagination to encourage physical and literacy development through action-based songs and activities. Our week-long sessions for the older ones will allow your child to experience the craft of acting and making a performance, boost confidence, and develop skills in working and communicating in a team, all in the most FUN way. The week will end with a bang as the children work towards a rousing presentation for parents and friends in the ACT 3 Theatre.
